Of course big corporations want to make money... I'm a small business owner and i also want to make money... so does the baker on the corner of the street and so does the guy building cars in factory and so does the farmer etc... There's nothing wrong with wanting to make money.
The problems start when the State starts regulating things and eventually those who make up the 'rules' always end up taking the advice of the larger corporations (officially because they are so called 'experts' because they have a big market share. in reality of course because they made the right contributions to the right politician).
If YOU don't like what a company is selling or doing, no one is stopping YOU from trying to convince people to stop buying from that company. Especially in this day and age, we have more means then ever to get the word out.
